January 2025 Starters - Thread 10 - Onward & Downward Losers!

[meatyryvita]

thread 10 already!

Omg! I have just gone onto my supplier's website weprescribe.co.uk who I have been with since January and they are out of stock on every dose. I feel really shocked. I couldn't really afford another pen until payday next week but was vaguely considering using the credit card and was going to pop some in the basket and do some maths but this feels huge 😥

I was coming on to find out if anyone had ordered from get a drip and seen the price increase. I could cry, I’m so close to target.

That's why I have just ordered mine @BreezyPeer There is going to be a rush on pens now - I've just ordered 2 x 5mg pens with my 15% discount from Oushk. Gives me free delivery too. One of those should see me to the end of titrating down and then I have a pen in my back pocket for anything. It cost me £253 total - so substantially less than waiting until Sept.

I had to get my daughter to take a pic of me with a measuring tape - I hope they accept it 🤣

I’ve just put my details into one but might go for three upfront from Oushk if they do that. Was that in an email?

@MissPobjoysPonies get a drip was the one I looked at but even with £100 discount it was 175.

Might go back to medexpress for a one off 🤣

Does this work? Our friend the 🍊 one strikes again.

Trump complaint leads to Mounjaro price increase in UK

I’m on 7.5 and it was suggesting £114
who can you order more than one through? Everyone or just a few places?

Yes it works, he really is a piece of isn’t he. Sorry for my swearing but this has such an impact on everyone.
@BreezyPeer I’m so sorry😢, have you used any other providers you could try?
@Jins I’ve been reading a thread about it and apparently Oushk talked about it in a live they did earlier. If you order 1 then update to 2 or 3 in your basket it works. I’ve just ordered 2 5mg and it’s been confirmed which I hope
means they have them.

@MissPobjoysPonies the full price on my price breakdown was £275 and the £100 discount wasn’t tempting me.

Medexpress is a no go - BMI too low

Not sure but definitely Oushk and I think I read possibly Zava? Not sure if just for existing customers though?

I’ll get on to them as my order for one has just gone through.

I’ll look at oushk then :)

You can do bundles on zava. I used them for a good few months and they were great but got spendy without a discount as you moved up which is why I moved. Maybe worth looking there?

I wonder if i should look at oushk if they let you get multiple pens. would they extend that to a new customer do you think.

I’ve got to do another weight verification app at Ouskh. Fgs, it doesn’t seem like two mins since I did one (end of March).

I might buy another pen - that will get me to end of December.

Farmeci use Royal Mail if that helps anyone decide, I phoned to check as I couldn’t see it anywhere.

Hi everyone, I've not posted for a long time but have been following a long since we all started. I'm now exactly 4 stone down, 12lbs to go to target and so upset about this news!!

I'm with MedExpress and have been since the start, but did my maintenance appt and weight verification with Oushk but haven't ordered from them yet. I looked at Oushk as everyone raved about the discounts but I'm not seeing anything meaningful (10?) as the delivery is so expensive!! Am I missing something?

Get a drip just told me I was not eligible. I didn’t answer a single question!

Just took the postsurgery binder off to shower and ugh my stomach is so swollen I look like my before picture
At least it's not fat like it used to be.

Not sure if it’s correct but looking at the Oushk fb group it sounds like their stock has been cleared out already. I hadn’t ordered as I need to wait to speak to DH when he gets home from work tonight to see what is reasonable for me to do. God knows when they will restock! I read that all the pharmacies only get a certain allocation of stock so I don’t think it’s a case of them just putting a bigger order in to account for the stockpiling…

I was really panicked and cross earlier. I have always used one pharmacy, always been happy, middle of the road for price, free delivery. No issues. But I had no accounts etc with anyone else. I do have a small stockpile in the fridge. They are completely out of stock and I can't see see them restocking.
I have done my very best maths and I reckon I can reach my new mid BMI goal and maintain for 6 months to reset my set point with what I have on hand. Its not what I was hoping for ( a year on a maintenance dose and some wriggle room with dosing) but its doable and hopefully the tablets will be here soon.
It will reduce the pressure on the budget and if my pharmacy get more stock I will get one more pen but thats it for me!
I'll be here regularly as the support will be even more important.
Thank you all, your help and encouragement on this journey means so much! I am shocked by this change of pricing, it seems so counter productive. 😳

Oh wow @discov , tbf it was only because I was at home in a post exam result lull that I read it and placed an order (well two actually). I’d have been well behind the curve on a normal workout day.

Well I guess I won’t be able to change my order. Oh well - at least I’ve been approved for 10mg and I can theoretically get 12 doses out of that

@HeidiNotSoHeavy didn't want you to get lost in all this price increase talk. Hope your post surgery tummy sorts itself out soon! It's rude for it to look like your before photo 🤣🤣

I may have missed the mark then as I ordered 2 from Oushk - I expect I'll get an email telling me so tomorrow. I have 3 jabs, including bonus left.

@Focussingonme - I received 3 discount codes on my maintenance call in the follow up email. Check yours...(Although no good if there's no stock)

I've been with Boots Online Doctor and they've sent an email out about the pricing change. It looks like they'll move people onto Wegovy if they can't afford the new Mounjaro price so at least that's something. I'm just about to start my first 10mg pen and still a good 2 stone to go so it's looking expensive for the next few months - damn the orange man (putting it politely) 😠

Be kind to yourself, it’s only a couple of days since your surgery, and like you say, it’s not fat. How are you feeling?
